| description | Several studies show that spirituality plays an important role in coping with life trials and traumas. We wanted to verify this on a random sample of 494 Slovenian participants during the COVID-19 pandemic. We were interested in which difficult and traumatic life trials they found faith in God helpful. Respondents most often mentioned the death of a loved one, illness, miscarriage, and divorce. The results can be useful for professionals in the system of providing help and encouragement for individuals to cope with difficult, traumatic experiences and reduce stress effectively. |
